Over leafed this a bit in a successful mission to sip down this sample that VariaTEA sent my way. I think I like it better this time. It is super buttery with an almost thick feeling. The coconut seems to blend into the buttery taste and not stand out much on it’s own. The maple crystals aren’t distracting in here like I found them to be in a different DBD blend. There is something in the sip that starts off like it wants to be tart and then quickly changes it’s mind and disappears. I still don’t get the toffee notes. I feel like buttercream frosting would have been a better name for this, especially if there was vanilla in there. Or maybe a pun off of Paula Dean’s apparent tendency to drink melted butter? Man I’m glad her window of fame has appeared to come to a close. It was a little jarring seeing her super excited intense smile all over the place for a while when you weren’t expecting it! Teeth so white and glowing you know she never drinks tea. It’s unnatural to not drink tea. Just can’t trust a smile like that. ;D
Back to this cup of tea… It has a nice long buttery finish to it which I like and might be my favorite part about each sip. I’m not getting rooibos standing out at all which I appreciate. It’s a good cup that I’d have again if we crossed paths, but not something I’m moved to buy.

Ha yeah, I haven’t gone to the dentist in a year because I don’t want to take my mask off in public. My teeth are BROWN.
I’ve tried at home whitening stuff, but my teeth are so sensitive that it was an awful experience. I should talk to my dentist about whitening options, but I’m with ya on not wanting to de-mask anywhere. My vanity will have to wait. Not like anyone is going to see the state of my mouth with a mask on anyways!
Don’t even ask when I have been to dentist for last time. I just can’t afford it!
Yeah, one day I wondered why Paula Deen was never on my tv anymore. very odd. haha.
I used to go to the dental school and have the students work on me for a large discount in services when I didn’t have insurance.
Didn’t PD get caught in some racist rant or something and get dropped like a hot coal from all her gigs? I should google this before I go too far down the can’t quite recall road!
oh, maybe. i don’t know. if only all racist people could become irrelevant that fast.
